One spectator was killed and two were critically hurt in Saturday's shooting.
Federal authorities are investigating after former President Donald Trump was shot in the ear in an assassination attempt at an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
Blood splattered on Trump's face as Secret Service agents surrounded him and led him off the stage to a waiting vehicle to whisk him away. Trump is "fine," a spokesperson said.
The alleged shooter was killed by snipers. Corey Comperatore, a firefighter and a father of two daughters, died in the shooting Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said. Two other people who attended the rally were also injured.
Former President Donald Trump has spoken to a family member of Corey Comperatore, the 50-year-old firefighter who was killed at Saturday's rally, a source told ABC News.
Comperatore leaves behind a wife and two daughters. His funeral is set for Thursday.
Donald Trump Jr. said he was fishing with his daughter on Saturday when his fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, called to tell him that his father was shot.
"Kim calls me [and said], 'Your father was shot,'" Trump Jr. recounted during a fireside chat with Axios.
But she had no other information to give, he said.
"It was 90 minutes before I even knew he was alive," Trump Jr. said.
Trump Jr. said then he was able to speak to his father on the phone.
"Considering the heaviness of that moment, sort of gave me a window for some levity and. you know, I asked him, 'Well, most importantly, like, how's the hair?'" he said.
Trump Jr. said his father responded, "The hair is fine ... a lot of blood in it, but it's fine."
"It was a heavy couple of hours, just that unknown," Trump Jr. said. "And then you finally find everything's OK, and then you sit down, and you start seeing the video when you're watching the news. And it was like, the adrenaline dump leaves, you know. Sort of amazing how calm I was first, and then, it's like, once that goes -- 'poof.'"
Trump Jr. said he believes his father is a changed man after the shooting.
"There are events that change you for a couple minutes and there's events that change you permanently," he said.
He also said he believes that there was a breach in security procedures at Saturday's rally.
The U.S. Secret Service in recent weeks had increased Donald Trump's security detail due to intelligence indicating there was an Iranian threat to assassinate the former president, according to three officials familiar with the matter.
There is no indication the plot was related to the assassination attempt against the former president on Saturday.
The sources have suggested Iran has been making these types of threats since the assassination of Iranian military officer Qasem Soleimani in January 2020.
